glassine envelopes

[Kay Cappleman]

These envelopes came up on University Products web site as an alternative for storage of photos. Has anyone tried them? What is the longevity?
A box of 100 4×5 is less than $10 vs Archival Sleeve protectors at $55 per 100. I am starting to catalog and re-house our museums small collection of several 100 photos and am looking for alternatives. Right now they are in archival folders, in archival boxes but no dividers.

Site description: These acid-free, buffered glassine envelopes are an economical way to protect prints, negatives and transparencies from fingerprints, dust and dirt. Flat single seam construction.
